UNSPSC 26101781: Piston pin

A component that plays the role of connecting link that conveys the gas pressure generated at the time of explosion of gas in the combustion chamber of internal combustion engine from the piston to the connecting rod.

UNSPSC 26101781 Piston pin is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, maps to repair and maintenance services for diesel engines in transit fleets rather than discrete piston pin components. State and local governments are purchasing these services through transit authorities and regional transportation departments seeking authorized engine repair facilities capable of diagnosing, rebuilding, and replacing engine components on medium and heavy-duty diesel buses. The work encompasses labor, OEM-quality materials, parts exchange, dyno testing to ISO standards, warranty coverage, and compliance with federal transit administration funding requirements where applicable. Issuing bodies include transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Broward County Transportation Department) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell) acting on behalf of multiple participating jurisdictions across the United States and Canada.

Recent opportunities concentrate in California and Florida. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued RFQ 260538 due September 17, 2026, seeking Cummins-certified repair dealerships to perform non-warranty repair services on CNG engines for a one-year term with a $20,000 budget, work to be performed at facilities in Garden Grove or Santa Ana or off-site at the contractor's facility. Broward County Transportation Department solicited competitive bids through TRN2132053B1 due June 1, 2026, for comprehensive repair and rebuild services on Cummins engines and chassis systems across multiple bus models, structured as an open-end indefinite quantity contract with work performed at facilities in Pompano Beach and Dania Beach, requiring vendors to respond to repair requests within 24 hours and complete engine replacements within seven business days. Both solicitations mandate Cummins certification or authorization, current state motor vehicle repair licensing, General Liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence, and compliance with FTA prevailing wage and Buy America requirements where federal funding applies.
